Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2005, the NDA was established as a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) under the Energy Act (2004) to ensure that the UK's nuclear legacy sites are decommissioned and cleaned up safely, securely, cost-effectively and in ways that protect people and the environment. The NDA's sponsoring department is the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC), with additional obligations to Scottish ministers for matters affecting Scotland. Our clean-up mission covers 17 sites, 14 in England and Wales as designated by the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change and 3 in Scotland also designated jointly by the Scottish ministers. Because of its nature and scale, decommissioning the UK's nuclear legacy remains subject to significant uncertainties and complexities. These are associated with the condition of the assets and the nature of the decommissioning programmes and projects that have no national or international precedent. Our current plans indicate that it will take around 110 years to complete our core mission of nuclear clean-up and waste management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The NDA is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC). The Department in consultation with Scottish Ministers are responsible for approving our plans and providing a policy framework for the NDA. The NDA sets the estate-wide strategy, contract manages the operation of the SLCs and provides performance assurance across the estate to ensure value is delivered for the taxpayer. The SLCs are responsible for delivering NDA site progress through their running of day to day activities. Along with SLCs, the NDA also has a portfolio of subsidiaries, which operate a range of specialised services and help facilitate activities of the NDA and its estate. As part of the Energy Act (2004) the NDA is required to: (i) Strategy: Review, update and consult on its strategy every five years, the third edition of the NDA Strategy is due for publication in 2016. The purpose of this document is to outline the long-term objectives that will guide the NDA through to the completion of its mission; (ii) Business Plan: Publish a Business Plan annually looking at the key activities for the NDA and the estate over the next three years. The Business Plan also outlines expected expenditure and revenue for the coming financial year; (iii) Annual Report and Accounts: Publish annually a summary of the financial and corporate performance across the previous financial year. From 1 April 2016 the NDA will become the owner of Sellafield Limited, the SLC responsible for managing and operating the Sellafield site on behalf of the NDA. The new arrangements will replace the current Parent Body Organisation (PBO) model and therefore ownership of Sellafield Limited by Nuclear Management Partners (NMP).
Download or read book Nuclear Decommissioning written by Michele Laraia and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-02-21 with total page 857 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a nuclear installation has reached the end of its safe and economical operational lifetime, the need for its decommissioning arises. Different strategies can be employed for nuclear decommissioning, based on the evaluation of particular hazards and their attendant risks, as well as on the analysis of costs of clean-up and waste management. This allows for decommissioning either soon after permanent shutdown, or perhaps a long time later, the latter course allowing for radioactivity levels to drop in any activated or contaminated components. It is crucial for clear processes and best practices to be applied in decommissioning such installations and sites, particular where any significant health and environmental risks exist. This book critically reviews the nuclear decommissioning processes and technologies applicable to nuclear power plants and other civilian nuclear facilities. Part one focuses on the fundamental planning issues in starting a nuclear decommissioning process, from principles and safety regulations, to financing and project management. Part two covers the execution phase of nuclear decommissioning projects, detailing processes and technologies such as dismantling, decontamination, and radioactive waste management, as well as environmental remediation, site clearance and reuse. Finally, part three details international experience in the decommissioning of nuclear applications, including the main nuclear reactor types and nuclear fuel cycle facilities, as well as small nuclear facilities and legacy nuclear waste sites.

Download or read book Strategy written by Great Britain: Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-03-21 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Energy Act 2004 requires the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), a non-Departmental body, to review and publish its strategy at least every five years. This document also presents the outcome of the NDA's review of the first Strategy published in 2006. This revised Strategy sets out the NDA's strategic direction and mission. The core objective of the NDA is to ensure that the historic civil public sector nuclear legacy sites are decommissioned safely, securely, cost effectively and in ways that protect the environment. As part of this, the NDA is required to operate existing commercial activities and meet current contracts, using revenues generated to offset spend on decommissioning. Much of the original strategy therefore remains the same but the UK Government policy on nuclear energy has changed and a new reactor programme is now envisaged for England and Wales. The decommissioning programme itself has an estimated cost of £45.1 billion. The Strategy can be divided into the following groups: (1) Site restoration - which defines the approach to decommissioning redundant facilities and management of contamination; (2) Spent fuels - which is managing the diverse spent nuclear fuels; (3) Nuclear materials - consists of dealing with the inventory of uranics and plutonium, stored at some site; (4) Integrated Waste Management - concerns the management of all forms of waste arising from operating and decommissioning sites; (5) Business Organisation - looks at maximising commercial income, using assets and capabilities to reduce decommissioning costs; (6) Critical Enablers - seeks to support the NDA's overall mission. The publication is divided into five chapters focusing on these issues, with appendices. The Strategy is effective from April 2011.

Download or read book Taking forward decommissioning written by Great Britain: National Audit Office and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2008-01-30 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NAO report examines the process of decommissioning of the UK's nuclear power stations and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority's performance in using contracts to take forward decommissioning of the various sites, since April 2005, along with what lessons can be learnt. By December 2007, 14 facilities had already shut down and were in the process of being decommissioned. Current plans envisage that most of these sites will be cleared over a 100-year period, at the current estimated cost of £61 billion. The NDA's estimate of the undiscounted future costs of sites over the remaining lifetime, £73 billion, was almost £17 billion higher than the estimate made by the Department in 2003. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority itself was established on 1 April 2005 to ensure the safe and efficient clean-up of the UK's first generation of civil public sector nuclear facilities, with responsibility for 19 sites. Command Paper (Cm. 5552, Managing the Nuclear Legacy, ISBN 9780101555227), which was published in 2002, set out broadly the Government's structure for taking forward decommissioning by allowing competition. The NAO has set out a number of recommendations, including: that the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority should develop its current contract incentives; that the Authority should strengthen its capacity to scrutinise cost estimates; that the authority should determine the reasons for the continuing increases in cost estimates submitted by sites; that the Authority should evaluate the risks from more commercial management of its sites and develop clear and transparent measures of the progress of decommissioning; that the Authority should require site licensees to prepare lifetime plans on the most realistic available funding assumptions.
